Philadelphia has a pretty fair team in place. Their biggest needs are a TE, LT, RB to pair with Westbrook, and they could also use more help on the O-line.


Chiefs have the #3 overall pick worth 2200 points. A LT could very well be on the board at that #3 pick. Lions go Stafford, and either Smith or Monroe is guaranteed to be there at #3.

Philadelphia has 12 picks in the draft whose total point value is 2199. Philly calls and offers all 12 picks for pick #3, TG, LJ, and BW. A possible conditional pick in the draft is offered next year as well. 3rd rounder if they make the playoffs, 2nd rounder if they make the NFC Championship, 1st rounder if they make the Super Bowl.

18 overall picks for the Chiefs in this draft with which to use and/or manuver for position in this draft or next years draft, with another potential draft pick next year depending on how well the Eagles do.

2 1st rounders... 21 and 28
1 2nd rounder... 53
2 3rd rounders... 67 and 85
2 4th rounders... 102 and 121
5 5th rounders... 139, 141, 153, 157, and 159
3 6th rounders... 175, 194, and 195
3 7th rounders... 212, 230, and Mr. Irrelavent


Philly is probably a serious player in the NFC with the deal. KC can do some serious building and add finishing touches in next years draft. Do you do the deal?

OK, then I will ask again... does anyone have any trade down scenarios that are more likely?

I thought it was necessary to lay out all the variables that I could find that were in play...hence the length of the post. If you have a shorter version that addresses the situation accurately, I would love to hear it.

I reject this scenario because there is no way any one team would see all of the veterans on our team as worth having and no way any team will give up it's entire draft. (see what happened to Mike Ditka)
